You have convinced me that I should take the plunge! Thank you!”

Here’s the thing. You already know that:

E-Newsletters generate leads.

E-Newsletters increase sales.

E-Newsletter position you and your company as an industry thought leader.

E-Newsletters are cheap to send, inherently interactive, and easily forwarded to friends of friends.

E-Newsletters give you an opportunity to reveal your “human side,” to show potential clients and customers that you’re more than just a vendor.

All great stuff. But here’s the problem: You don’t know how to write, when to publish, which formatting details matter, how to grow your list, where to get content ideas, and on and on and on.

It’s a great idea, but where do you start and how do you create something that’s worth sending? That’s what this e-book is all about.

In just 80 pages, and in a clear, FAQ format, I’ll explain:

How do I decide what to write about? (Page 18)

How often should the newsletter be published? (Page 57)

How important is it to send an HTML newsletter? (Page 38)

How much subscriber information should I require at sign-up? (Page 56)

Where do I get the email addresses from, and how do I make sure I’m not “spamming?” (Page 54)

How do I get readers to forward my newsletter to colleagues? (Page 48)

Is it OK to rent my list of names to noncompeting companies? (Page 65)

How do I measure the return on my investment? (Page 13)

You’ll also get a 5-page E-Newsletter Launch Template and Checklist to systematically guide you through the thought process of your E-Newsletter. The template pulls the concepts and guidelines detailed in the book into a straightforward, simple tool that you can use as you prepare to launch.

Still not sure? Here’s what others have said about it, some of whom are not blood relatives:
